Text utilities handle alignment (with responsive variants), wrapping, truncation, breaking, transforms, font size, weight and style, line height, monospace and decoration. Combine them to build headings, meta lines and price tags without touching CSS.
1Text alignment
text-start, text-center and text-end.
text-start
text-center
text-end
<div class="d-grid gap-2 small">
<p class="text-start border rounded-3 p-2 mb-0">text-start</p>
<p class="text-center border rounded-3 p-2 mb-0">text-center</p>
<p class="text-end border rounded-3 p-2 mb-0">text-end</p>

text-nowrap: Thousands of clients already trust us, and we work hard to keep it that way.
